Dropped off of trash in Auch Crypts and was awarded to our tank, who was using trash green, Very good shield if you pick it up right at 65-66

Comment by Calienta

Dropped of a Bonelasher on Carrion Hill in Terokkar.

Does not look sweet at all, it's perhaps the ugliest (or at least most feminine) shield in Outland. I need an upgrade but will not equip a pink shield.

Comment by Wotok

One thing I've found out about trying to upgrade this shield is:

This shield is the best shield with block rating, not block value.

I can't seem to find a replacement for a shield that has stam, def and block rating. :/

Got this from a Fey Drake in Blade's Edge Mountains, near Sylvanaar. Thought I'd mention it since it's not listed it the mobs here.

For solo grinding and/or Tankadins, this is the best shield available on the 65 - 70 grind in terms of long-duration damage mitigation, bar none. There's at least one on the AH almost every other day for 40-60g, so there's no reason not to pick this up.

Going into 70 heroics and raids, however, this shield really starts to loose some of it's usefullness as compared to some of the entry-level epics, unless you're a Tankadin whom, as roy7 points out, is trying to become "uncrushable" (insuceptable to a crushing blow; 150% damage, dealt by mobs 3 levels higher than you and raid bosses).

Skillful protection spec'd warriors can simply spam their improved shield block ability (increase chance to block by 75% for 2 blocks) and become uncrushable against a boss or single mob, even if their combined chance to be missed/dodge/parry/block is relatively low. As a result, Warriors should be more impressed with sheild block *Value*, which increases both the damage reduced by blocks AND their threat generated by shield slam. Tankadins, however, do not have available to them an ability that matches the Warrior's shield block, and therefore have to make up the difference in permanent bonuses and enchantments.

So if you're a Paladin looking to become uncrushable, you're probably going to keep this shield at least until the next X-pac. For everyone else, upgrade to the Crest of the Sha'tar (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29176) ASAP.

This shield is good for tanking warriors, but great for tanking paladins since you need a combined block, parry and dodge around 102% to be immune to crushing blows.

A warrior with just talents and abilities is almost uncrushable from the start, think they can get to approximately 95-100% while Shield Block is up, easily covered by a few items with +def rating. Thus making Block Value more beneficial.

While a paladin with talents and abilities are at 45-50% total. Increased block chance also increase paladins threat from Holy Shield procs and possibly Blessing of Sanctity if they chose to use that.

has a nice amount of armor and stamina (+24 stamina is very good) and looks very nice...i like this :) easy to get,too,u can find it on AH for cheap money

Comment by lxsli

Ok, yes it's nice to be uncrushable. But compared to the Crest of the Sha'tar, you're sacrificing 1100 armor and ~37 block value to use this. That's a lot of mitigation, if you're short of uncrushable get some def gems or something.

Uncrush really isn't a big issue until you're tanking raid bosses anyway, forget it until you're at least in Karazhan.

Comment by Badaccus

My alt has this, and the http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31234, bought both of them for ~60g or so, a very good combo, since the Crystalblade of the Dranei is even better then the reward from the durn quest imo.

Comment by Benegesserit

That's essentially what Ixsli said, Quest. "Uncrush really isn't a big issue until you're tanking raid bosses anyway" So if the mob can't crush you (3+ levels or raid boss), then who cares about this shield. Keep it for bosses or 3+ level mobs, wear something else for everything else.

Comment by Baraqiel

On the short list of the greatest looking shields obtainable.

It is nearly exactly the same as the shields worn by the Crimson Guardsmen in strath, the elite of the Scarlet Crusade.

For RP purposes, that's pretty leet.

Comment by KainDarkfire

With the new Shattered Sun Offensive faction, there is a direct upgrade from this shield to the Sunward Crest for Protection Paladins, until then, this shield still rocks.

Comment by Toneh

I got lucky and wound up getting this shield for 7g from a pretty cool Hunter I was grouped with.

I'm a Ret pally so I'm not exactly made to tank, but I do it sometimes for lower-end instances, and this shield really works well for that. Now if only I could find a one-hand weapon that'd make me as happy as my two-handers do. :(

Comment by Moodknight

Lordaeron symbol, good looking thing. Humans of the past should go really far to drop this thing HERE xD

For anyone looking to Transmog a Scarlet Crusader, this is the shield you are looking for.

Comment by BobSagget

I just looted this and I would either recommend keeping for yourself if you tank as a warrior or a pally. Or you could sell it for around 250-500g(Depending if one is already being sold) in the AH

Comment by Mormolyce

The fact that this shield is hot pink gives you an idea of what was wayward about the footman in question.

Comment by Traynwreck

Was looking on Wowhead for a different shield for mogging purposes but came across this one instead. Decided to peek on the AH and see what it went for on my server and it was up ... for 15g. Instantly bought it; goes great with my Bloodscale plate.

Comment by Triffy

Just looted this from a silver-bound chest in Nagrand.

Comment by Lorrellei

This item can be found in Silverbound Treasure Chests. For farming these, I put together a series of macros to take you on a circuit of the areas in Outlands using the add-on Tom Tom. There are 10 separate macros needed due to a limit of 255 characters per macro. The circuit starts in Hellfire Peninsula and ends in Terokkar Forest on the border between Terokkar Forest and Hellfire Peninsula. Clicking the macros again will start you back in Hellfire Peninsula. I suggest clicking the macros one by one in order to ensure you go in the circuit in the most expeditious manner. I separated them out below:

This item can be found in Silverbound Treasure Chest with a 4% drop rate (in addition to the mobs it falls off). The chests appear to have an 18 to 24 hour respawn time.
